Beautiful illustrations for this story. I'd purchase this for little ones as the story isn't very long. I think my son at 3 is too old for it but it is a lovely story none the less.
Cute little book. Thought it might be good for my granddaughter but she was too old for it. We had fun reading it anyway. I recommend this for kids who can’t read yet. Thanks to NetGalley for the free download and to the author and publisher.
Cute bedtime story. More pictures than words though. Really nice illustrations. Good for sight words
A really cute simple book. Perfect for bed times for the little ones. It has been written using simple sentences that make it easy for little ones to understand and follow and there are also pages with just pictures on them so you can also make up the story as you go. I loved the illustrations in this book they are just so cute and adorable.
The perfect book when one is getting ready for bed. Shh, it's time for both kids and animals alike to get ready for quiet time as night falls.
A nicely illustrated book for quieting down at bedtime. The lion brushing his teeth is pretty dang cute, and I appreciate the note that the sheep are not getting ready for bed, but sitting quietly as they wait to be counted. Just a pleasant, cute title.
Shhh! is a sweet picture book with simple one-dimensional illustrations which complement the story. Suitable to be read to kids at bedtime.

Beautifully illustrated book, calming and soothing words for bedtime. A great story, a little boy observing the world closing down at bedtime showing darkness and how others go to bed at night, leaves some things for children to imagine, a lovely bedtime read.

What a beautiful book. Simple illustrations, favourite animal characters and a calm peaceful bedtime routine.
This is a lovely book to share with young children getting into a bedtime habit. I could still read it and enjoy it with my older children and I think now, they would appreciate how simple and stunning the illustrations are.
The text is rhythmic and children will soon be reading along with their parents.
Such a wonderful book. It is on my list to buy for friends with young children.
This delightful bedtime story will lull even the most reluctant sleeper to sleep.
"Night falls...It is late. Close your eyes. Time to sleep."
A small child listens intently as the world shuts down around him. He envisons the moon tiptoeing up to the sky, a polar bear curled up on an ice floe readying itself for sleep, a lion in pyjamas brushing all of his teeth, and a herd of giraffes snugging down on soft, pillowy clouds to get some rest, just to name a few.
The child's whimsical imagination combined with the simple lyrical text are a perfect combo... one that is guaranteed to lull your child to sleep. The illustrations are vibrant, humorous, and very kid-friendly. The book soothes, calms and invites your child on a journey culminating in Shhhhhh! Sleep!
LOVED IT! Could imagine myself reading to my kids when they were little and can now to my granddaughter at night. Perfect length and really a soothing read. nice illustrations as well . Absolutely a book I would recommend.
Gentle and lulling bedtime book that tucks the reader in for a night of sweet dreams. A book that will invite deep sleep and pleasant dreams.
A lovely bedtime story for little ones to help them get ready for sleepy time. Beautiful illustrations, my 3 year old really enjoyed the animals in the story all going to sleep.
Perfect little bedtime story for wee ones! All the critters little ones like are getting ready to go to sleep, or already asleep. The story is short and uncomplicated and peaceful! I love the illustrations! Bold and simple. I look forward to seeing the actual book as I am sure the colors will be magnificent! Wonderful book.
Wonderful bedtime story written and illustrated by Barroux. The story takes the reader on a quiet safari as the animals, and a young city boy gently fall asleep. The illustrations are splendid, cute, and relaxing.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this advanced readers copy.
Shhh! by Barroux
Book starts with colorful children's pages showing the darkness.
Simple sentences and some pages with no words leaving it to the child to imagine what's going on from the pictures.
Shows various animals and how they are going to sleep for the night.
Best part is about the sheep! Cute young children's story.
Received this review copy from Quarto Publishing Group - words & pictures from Netalley and this is my honest opinion.

A beautifully simple bedtime story for really young children with lovely illustrations.
Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.
Shhh! by Barroux is an enchanting children's books published by Quarto dedicated in particular to toddler and for let them appreciate the moment of bed-time.
You know: a kid wouldn't never want to go to bed because life is too exciting and beautiful; a continuous surprise and the world a territory perfect for a little explorer.
Just: it is necessary some rest also for the bravest kid of this world.
And nothing will be more beauty than this hymn at a good-night starting with a kid to bed but traveling also in the world and so passing through a lot of animals and creatures, wild, and an important moment: when they go to sleep. We meet the lion but also the Giraffe, and many other important protagonists that we are sure will let you think your kid that, if they have some rest, maybe it is better to have some as well.
A dreaming book speaking of peaceful lands, where children are friends with animals and where nature is treated with respect, imagination and love.
I thank NetGalley and Quarto for this eBook.
This is a really cute, simple bedtime story for a very young child to help them get to the Land of Nod. I personally loved the moon tiptoeing to the sky and the lion brushing his teeth.
A very short, quiet little tale. I could have done with a few more animals and a few more pages to turn - it ended all to quickly!
Many thanks to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing and the author for the copy of an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
A pleasant sleep-inspirer, but no more. If you're sending someone off to the Land of Nod why break out into a sudden JOKE midway through (here it's about the sheep that everyone else counts)? I liked the giraffes resting their tired heads on clouds, but the artwork is more utilitarian than magical; this is just mediocre all told.
